San Antonio Northwest Vet Center - Community engagement
The NW San Antonio Vet Center takes pride in our community involvement and community engagement. We have the unique opportunity to offer services to the community of San Antonio and surrounding areas via our Mobile Vet Center (MVC). The MVC sets up wherever there are Veterans, service members, and family members in need of services. The Vet Center reaches across many different counties to serve our Veteran’s needs. We are able to reach the follow counties within our catchment area : Bandera, Bexar, Edwards, Frio, Gillespie, Kendall, Kerr, Kimble, Kinney, Medina, Menard, Real, Sutton, and Uvalde. The MVC can be requested outside our catchment area if needed.
In the event of a natural disaster the MVC can and has been used for its extraordinary communications capabilities and versatility it provides in an emergency situation.
Each MVC includes confidential counseling spaces for direct services. It also offers a state-of-the-art satellite communication package. This includes fully encrypted tele-conferencing equipment, access to all VA systems, and connectivity to emergency response systems. Vet Center staff regularly collaborates with VA partners to create a single VA Footprint at events to ensure access to all available VA services and benefits.
